I really liked jury duty!

I did too. While waiting [for six hours until getting picked], they played two movies ("The Blind Side" and "Happy Feet") and was given a 90 minute lunch break - complete with a cafeteria where you can order grilled food. At my job, the most we get is 30 minutes so I was thrilled.

Of course I didn't watch most of the movies since I brought some magazines that were piling up at home.

Backlogs - not just for video games.

 
This girl I work with just said she is gonna marry and try to get pregnant with her boyfriend who is in prison. cuz then they will let him go...

Anyone with an xbox in here (i think just Vig and Jimbo?) I'm not sure if I should jump on this: new xbox one with two controllers, halo collection, some assassins creed game, cod, and some other game i can't think of right now for $240?

My friend apparently has found the hookup. He got one, but I'm not sure what the hell I would do with an xbox besides use as a paperweight right now. The only xbox exclusive game I can think of that I want to play right now is Oli and the blind forest…Any other games worthy?

That's a pretty good deal, but unless you're dying to play an X1 exclusive it may not be worth it for you. I cant even think of a game I've bought for mine since MCC came out.

I don't know, when I mentioned it both times I made it to jury selection, they told the judge to dismiss me because I would automatically convict someone who was possibly innocent and give them a harsher penalty due to the above.

Around here (NY) they usually see through most of the lame excuses. My next door neighbor got out of Federal Jury Duty many years ago. They asked if anyone has a close family member convicted of a felony or something like that. Her dad served a year and half in Danbury for loan sharking or something like that.

I went to County court a few years ago and one guy said his cousin was convicted by the judge. He was told that wasn't close enough to be automatically dismissed but should tell the judge. Not sure if he got out of or not.

I have a psycho father, and no relationship with him, but he went to prison two times, so maybe thats why they always let me go, since it's deemed a close enough relationship.

Also, why the fuck would you want to get out of jury duty? fucking communist assholes that think they're too good to do one of the most basic civil duties.

Cause they won't let me play video games.

Seriously jury duty sucks. Best court system money can buy. Also huge waste of time. No court on either Monday or Friday (forget which). The other day court wasn't starting till 11 or so. Then break for lunch. Then clean up at 4 since they can't pay overtime.

i don't like it because it takes away from my families money. I think theres more than enough people who actually want to do jury duty so they should just pick from those. I don't want someone on my panel that doesn't want to be there, then they won't judge fairly. Personally I do think I would be biased if I did have to be on a panel, I think a lot of punishments are too lenient.

 
Vig,  I doesn't seem there is any additional actual game in the Just Case 2 Ultimate edition no trophies or anything?  Is any of the crap they give you worth it or is it useless junk?

Seems there is some sort of rocket launcher (according to the tip for hardcore playthrough on psnprofiles.com) but that doesn't even seem to be included.

As soon as I got my drivers license I started getting chosen. Have had to show up 5 times so far, two times I actually made it to panels. 3 times I got there and there was no cases so they sent everyone home.

 
If you say things like that you might have a better chance of getting out of it.  It just depends on if the other degenerates there are worse of a degenerate than you are.

I ended up getting on a jury where the Sheriff of Fulton County was getting sued after telling them that my cousin was the Sheriff of a county back in Florida (which is true).  I also told them that before being picked for a bank robbery case that I was also picked for.  It just depends who all is in the pool with you.  There is no silver bullet for getting out of it.  There sure are some that will end up with you in jail for contempt if you are dumb enough to lie to them.

We had a guy in one of my panels try to say that he didn't speak enough english to stay for the trial, the judge asked him how long he had lived in the United States for. The man said something like 30+ years, and the judge told him if he lived here that long then he could stand trial and if need be they would explain every word to him.

So this one pretty friendly and outgoing dude at my work is taking a couple new employees around the different campuses tomorrow and Thursday to get them acquainted with the school. One of the new employees is pretty cute. He said there is one spot left if anyone else wanted to tag along, so I said yeah sure. And now he's acting like he doesn't want me to go.

So either I have terrible BO or he was trying to use this time to get to know this chick and feels like I'll be horning in on his racket. Maybe he wanted one of the old dudes to tag along or something.

yeah. Step off!
 
First time I was picked for jury duty, I was dismissed and didn't even have to go to the courthouse.

Second time many years later, I had to go. Hearing people's excuses to try to get out of being selected was pretty funny. One guy said he had to run his surf shop, another didn't have transportation, and the guy next to me claimed to know the judge's sister.

I wasn't picked for the case I was up for, but I thought it was cool that one of the people who was had the name "Roger Smith".

As a fan of The Big O, not American Dad.

Depends on where you live.

I've never had to do jury duty, which I'm honestly pretty happy about. I have a lot of trouble staying awake when I'm not actively doing something. Class, meetings, etc.. If I'm not participating I'll pretty much pass out. Jury duty would be problematic, I think.

Does NY do background checks or something?
Click to expand...
No but at least in County court they prescreen and break you up into a few smaller pools. I had town court jury duty originally which would have been much better for me (closer / free parking / smaller trials) but asked and received a postponement. My boss was traveling out of the country and we had some turn over in the department (She was my boss for a few weeks at the time).

So when my name/number came up again it was for County court which is 30 mins away and you have to pay for parking. Anyway they prescreened and allowed some people to postpone. We were told it could be Federal next time which is an hour to almost 2 hours away depending on if it was in White plains (even more expensive parking) or NYC which would be $25 a day or so train fare.

Ended up just having to check every night after 5:30pm to see if I needed to report or not. Seemed to go on for 2 or 3 weeks. Hard to do my actual job not knowing if I am going to be in the next day or not.

Recently they called me again but since I served County recently I don't have to serve for 4 years. I couldn't find my certificate or whatever but was able to get the court to send me a copy.

If they didn't waste so much time maybe I wouldn't hate the thought of going or if it was town court maybe.

 
Yeah you're extremely stupid if you're going to sit there and lie to a judge when being questioned. I've never gotten that far, but I'm assuming you're under oath at that point. Lying under oath is a felony, kids!

If you're that worried about being picked, you can just call your court when you get your notice and say you live in a different county. Of course you're still lying and being a douchebag, but this is far and away a smarter method of being an asshole than lying in a courtroom.

I want my government to do everything for me, but I'm not willing to do anything back. I pay taxes, damn it!

Oh and those taxes are too high!

You're not under oath at the point were the judge asks if theres reasons you think you shouldn't serve, but its still stupid to lie. Speaking of which, I saw someone lie under oath and then backpeddle.

My time is more valuable to me than money, I would pay to get out of jury duty. Essentially I am anyway with losing time at work. At least theres no tax on goods in my state I guess.

And imagine my surprise when one of the candidates picked for WWE's Tough Enough goes by the name "The Big O" . Showtime!

 
My launch edition of Operation Abyss came in. The box is very soft, which I wasn't expecting, and they shipped it in a padded envelop. Box is slightly creased on the bottom, but not too bad. Got lucky, I guess. Smaller than I was thinking it would be, too.

 
sony just sent me an email telling me to play more free to play games. they mentioned battle islands and blacklight retribution. both have trophies. anyone ever play these?

Definitely flimsy. A spider wrap would cut the thing in half, luckily its unlikely for one to be used on it given its size.

As do I assuming I report to work one day a week. Some weird policy. But since the NY courts are broke they don't actually hold court 5 days a week anyway (At least not 2 or 3 years ago). Those who are hourly at my company (and most) get pretty screwed over though.

It's a weird tradition I guess. My wife grew up in new orleans so she doesn't think it's hot yet. I always try to hold out until she can't take it anymore as a bit of a manly challenge (it also seems to make the rest of summer more tolerable if I just accept the heat for the first month or so). The kids don't seem to care despite all of them being giant wusses normally. It is all very, very stupid but it is kinda fun.
